a fun filled day

our list of "to-dos" before we leave new england is rather lengthy, but we can cross off one item today. we ventured to the acton children's discovery center. it was a great little place especially geared for younger kiddos and FREE thanks to my teacher id and military id. love that. our friends, erin & liam and michelle & lucy joined us for the fun. i was able to capture a few photos before my battery died-you'd think i'd learn to double check these things. anyway, i did take some more photos with my phone, but now i have to figure out how to get them off of my phone and onto my computer. oiy! the center was cute--complete with a little diner, water table, train table, and oceanesque things too. very cute and perfect as far as size. we spent a couple of hours there, which was great for little ones.
our second activity of the day was a trip to the playground. i opted to go to the playground across from our old house. it was sad, although claire didn't seem to mind. our house looks so good right now. may and june are the best months for my flower gardens, so seeing all of my blooming flowers that i worked so hard to transplant and nurture was bittersweet. many of them came from my mom and grandma's gardens. sad they are no longer mine. on the other hand, the new owners obviously share my joy of flowers and gardening and are doing a great job taking care of the landscaping. for that i am thankful.
our final stop was to our former neighbors--mike and sarah's to join them for a walk. it was nice visiting with sarah, catching up on all the neighborhood gossip. their twins are getting so big--nearly as big as mya. we definitely need to get together a bit more. they are very nice.
all in all, a great day filled with lots of friend time. we like that.

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
